Gapsted Estate, located in Victoria's High Country, is a family-owned award-winning Australian winery with a strong focus on emerging and alternative varieties. Established in 1997, the collaboration of winemakers and viticulturalists used their combined expertise to select the ideal site in North East Victoria. The construction of the winery began with storage and fermentation tanks constructed onsite along with a small crushing facility. The commitment and dedication to producing exceptional wines over the past 26 years has earned a loyal following of wine lovers who appreciate the authenticity and integrity behind each bottle.
The quality and authenticity of our wines has led the portfolio expansion from approachable, joyful wines through to the development of benchmark, prestige wines.
